On December 20, 2017 after 3 years of internationa

On December 20, 2017 after 3 years of international efforts the United Nations (UN) proclaimed that May 20 would be recognized as World Bee Day.

Bees are some of the most important pollinators, ensuring food growth and security, sustainable agriculture, biodiversity, all while significantly contributing to the mitigation of climate change and the conservation of the environment. By pollinating, bees increase agricultural production, thus maintaining diversity and variety in our fields and on our plates.

Without bees, no pollination, no grapes and therefore no wines - a serious environmental risk today. In the fight against the alarming decline in bee colonies, Gérard Bertrand is committed to a bee-friendly environment for the preservation of the biological balance and also the winemaking tradition of the Cévennes in the South of France. The Pollinat wines are certified with the organic seal and also have the "Bee-Friendly" label initiated by European beekeepers. It identifies agricultural practices that are intended to protect and preserve the natural habitat of bees and all pollinating insects.

So how can we help? Here are some ways to save the bees:

1. Plant a bee garden – grow bee-friendly plants in window boxes, flowers pots and planters

2.Go chemical-free for bees – synthetic pesticides, fertilizers and herbicides are harmful to bees, try using organic products instead

3.Provide trees for bees – bees get most of their nectar from trees and are an essential habitat providing nesting material and shelter

4.Create a bee bath – fill a shallow bird bath with clean water and arrange stones so they break the water’s surface, bees will land and take a drink

5.Support local beekeepers – buy locally-made honey and beeswax products

This month is Oregon Wine Month, and this is definitely a wine destination worth exploring! Oregon has become known for their premium wine production with their most notable and oldest wine region, the Willamette Valley. The valley is a destination in itself boasting 700 wineries and gorgeous landscapes and it’s located just 50 miles from Portland making this an easy and scenic road trip. This region is perfectly situated between the Pacific Ocean and the Cascade mountains which provides an ideal climate for it’s most popular varietals of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay along with many others.

If you are planning a wine holiday to the Willamette Valley, then Domaine Drouhin Oregon is a must visit! Perched a top the sub-appellation of the Dundee Hills overlooking the Willamette Valley, this winery is dedicated to producing outstanding Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Established by the Drouhin Family of Burgundy’s Maison Joseph Drouhin, they live by the motto “French Soul, Oregon Soil”. With 235 acres of vineyard and a climate very similar to Burgundy, the Drouhin Family has been established in Oregon for over 30 years producing elegant wines reflecting the terroir. A visit to the winery offers an opportunity for an intimate tasting experience allowing you to discover the estate grown wines of Domaine Drouhin Oregon as well as wines from their Roserock Vineyards located in the sub-appellation of Eola-Amity Hills. You can choose to enjoy your tasting inside their four level gravity flow winery, on their expansive patio with stunning valley views, or in their Secret Garden where you will taste your way through Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from these two unique estates. A trip to Domaine Drouhin will definitely be memorable.

When you think of Pinot Grigio you may envision yo

When you think of Pinot Grigio you may envision yourself in the beautiful landscapes of Northern Italy sipping a light, crisp wine with mouth-watering acidity. Or maybe you identify with the fuller bodied more off dry style of Pinot Gris from Alsace, France. Pinot Grigio/Pinot Gris can be found in many wine regions with styles ranging from light bodied and bone-dry to slightly off dry and fuller bodied, or somewhere in between. Today is Pinot Grigio Day and we have two fantastic new world selections for you to enjoy; the Henry of Pelham Pinot Grigio from Niagara, Ontario and the Yalumba Y Series Pinot Grigio from South Australia.

Nestled in the Short Hills Bench sub-appellation of the Niagara Peninsula in Southern Ontario, we find Henry of Pelham, a flagship winery of this well established Canadian wine region. With its ideal climate thanks to its proximity to Lake Ontario and the Niagara Escarpment, this region has an ideal climate for growing a range of varietals like Pinot Grigio. An ideal wine for summer, this expression pays homage to the Pinot Grigios of Northern Italy with its light refreshing palate and zippy acidity. This flavourful wine has notes of fresh melon, citrus, white cranberry and subtle herbaceous notes with a nice clean finish. Pairs well with sunshine, salads, seafood or poultry.

South Australia has also become a hot spot for this varietal and the Yalumba Y Series offers a lively and unique rendition of Pinot Grigio. This region is also fortunate to boast a varied landscape offering ideal soils and climate suitable for many varietals like Pinot Grigio. This wine offers lovely aromas of pear, white flowers and touch of cinnamon along with a vibrant and fruity palate with notes of baked apple, pear, citrus and finish of sweet spice. This wine also has a slightly creamy texture as a result of time spent aging on lees making it a great food wine and will pair with a flavourful pork or poultry dish.

Have fun sipping and exploring this versatile varietal!

What is Aqua Vitae? In Latin, it means “water of life” and this unique small batch botanical spirit is a tribute to the earliest recorded distillation of malt spirit made at Lindores Abbey in 1494 in Fife, Lowlands Scotland. Distilled in pot stills and infused with spices, dried fruits and locally grown herbs such as sweet cicely and cleavers, creating a flavourful spirit with notes of sweet spice, citrus, dried fruit & herbs. One of a kind and incredibly versatile lending itself to a range of tasty cocktails. Check out the recipes below:

2 oz Aqua Vitae

May brings us so many things to celebrate like lon

May brings us so many things to celebrate like longer warmer days, sunshine, blossoming flowers and hints that summer is just around the corner. May also brings us National Moscato Day (today!) which is a perfect wine for the season with its beautiful fruity and floral aromas along with it’s lighter, lower alcohol, sweeter and refreshing style. This incredibly versatile wine is made from the Muscat Blanc grape which has it’s origins dating back to ancient Greek and Roman times, but has made it’s home in many wine regions such as Australia. Today we celebrate this lovely varietal with the Yalumba Christobel’s Moscato from South Australia.

This wine is named after Christobel Hill-Smith, the wife of Sid Hill-Smith, fourth generation of Yalumba family winery. Christobel was an adored hostess at the winery and was known for her vibrant and charming personality and this wine definitely represents her character. The beautiful spring inspired label provides some clues of what to expect inside the bottle. This Moscato opens up with a delicate pretty nose of tropical fruits, garden fresh roses, and touch of vanilla. Your first sip is fresh and light with a touch of effervescence followed by flavours of guava, mango, lychee and citrus with perfectly balanced sweetness. An ideal wine on a sunny patio as an aperitif but is also an impressive match with charcuterie, assorted cheeses, sushi, salty snacks or fresh fruit.
